...Disney just promoted Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs to COO, and he is now considered the front-runner to replace Bob Iger as CEO in 2018. The Los Angeles Times provided some background and analysis regarding his selection.

...The Luigi's Tires ride in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure closes on February 16th, two and a half years after the opening of Cars Land. It will be replaced by a new ride which is expected to open in early 2016.

...D23 has photos of a tribute to Diane Disney Miller which took place in Griffith Park in December. The event included the presentation of a bench engraved with the names of Walt, Diane and Sharon Disney.

...The Orange County Register reported in January that Orlando's infamous Magic Bands will be coming to Disneyland soon. Ugh.

...Disneyland is also reported to be building a high-end restaurant adjacent to the private Club 33.

...For those who may have missed the news previously, in late November Disney and Turner Classic Movies announced joint projects. TCM is helping to revise the Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, and there will also be quarterly evenings of Treasures from the Disney Vault on the channel. The first evening of Disney movies, cartoons, and other programming aired Christmas week, and the next evening of Disney programming on TCM will be on Sunday, March 15th. Details on the March schedule can be found in my post Quick Preview of TCM in March.

...Thursday evening, February 12th, I'll be attending the "Throwback Thursday" screening of ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1951) at Disney's El Capitan Theatre. Throwback Thursday tickets are discounted to $10 and include popcorn and soda. I'll be sharing details here at week's end! (Update: Here is my account of a wonderful evening.)

...On February 24th I'll be attending the Royal Celebration Annual Passholder private party at Disneyland.

...There are hints that this spring's MouseAdventure game will have a retro computer game theme of some sort. (Update: This afternoon it was announced the next MouseAdventure date is Sunday, March 15th.)

...The Happy Lunar New Year Celebration returns to California Adventure from Thursday, February 19th, through Sunday, February 22nd. (Update: Here are some photos I took at the celebration on February 21st.)

...There's currently a large exhibit of Disneyland memorabilia on display at Van Eaton Galleries in Sherman Oaks. The items will be auctioned later this month.

That's terrific, Dan! I'm excited about March also. Even though I own a lot of what they're showing, I loved all the special intros and am so glad these great and often lesser-known Disney productions are being exposed to a wider audience via TCM.
